Shein is hurting all of us and influencers are helping them do it — BEST OF TANGOTI
Amazon responds to Shein and Temu threat with new low-price storefront: https://www.techspot.com/news/103565-amazon-responds-shein-temu-threat-new-low-price.html
Fast fashion retailer Shein’s brand trip didn’t quite go as they planned. They sent a group of influencers to China to tour their facility after a bunch of bad press, but now those influencers are facing backlash themselves, and renouncing their partnership with Shein. The whole thing raises questions about the ethics and harm of fast fashion, as well as the influencers who shill for it.
Aja Barber wrote the book on consumption. She explains why it’s about more than just Shein.

Cliff’s Notes on Tech
I don’t know how I found the pod in 2020 but I’m glad I did. The stories Bridget covers are something we should all be conscious of but frankly I don’t have the bandwidth to read and research on my own. I appreciate learning more about tech topics that wouldn’t otherwise interest me. Listening to Bridget Todd is like having brunch or drinks with one of your smartest girlfriends ❤️
Love love love
Bridget is a huge talent and a joy to listen to- I’ll stick with her forever but please get Mike off the mike; I’m suffering
